s3-readonly-policy:
  defines: aws/iam/iam-policy
  region: us-east-1
  policy_name: S3ReadOnlyAccess
  policy_document:
    Version: "2012-10-17"
    Statement:
      - Effect: Allow
        Action:
          - s3:GetObject
          - s3:ListBucket
        Resource:
          - "arn:aws:s3:::my-application-bucket/*"
          - "arn:aws:s3:::my-application-bucket"

3. Create/update:

monk update iam-examples/s3-readonly-policy
monk describe iam-examples/s3-readonly-policy
